Entering the alley of the tin house, before he looked up to find the house number, a faint fragrance floated from the front. Following the pine smoke incense of ink making, we found the ink making studio of Tin House, which is very good at making ink.

This very humble factory is full of surprises. It produces the only hand-made Songyan ink in Taiwan. It takes nearly a year. Master Chen Jiade and Mr. Chen Juntian, the father and son, have always insisted on making ink by hand. Prosperity and decline, their idea of ​​sticking to the only craft in Taiwan has never changed.

The teacher said that there were merchants on the other side who offered very favorable terms to invite their father and son to develop in the mainland, but his father, Mr. Chen Jiade, felt that this was an old craft unique to Taiwan and should stay in Taiwan. You should not forget what you should have just because you want to make a lot of money. in principle. In fact, there are many cultural groups in Taiwan, as well as artists, teachers from the Chinese Department, and temples that all love products made with ink. The calligraphy written in Songyanmo is really fragrant. The temple even says Songyanmo can protect against evil. Like to use their ink to draw gossip spells.

Listening to Mr. Chen Juntian's pride in this traditional craft, he was reluctant and looking forward to it. We saw the perseverance of the staff in Dayou Zhimo, enduring the exhaustion of work, the sultry heat of the factory, and the decline of traditional culture, silently The work of "momo" pays.
